Stimola is a smaller agency, but all four of their agents
are seeking authors. Specifically, they’re looking for picture books, novels
and graphic novels, and in nonfiction, parenting books and cook books.

At present, they are most interested in:

Author/
illustrators

Great
Read Aloud texts and ones that put a new spin on evergreen topics

And,
just to keep things interesting… we are also looking to add to our growing
list of parenting and cookbook titles with unique concepts and niche
market appeal!

Allison Remcheck is the newest member of the team, and like
all new agents, she needs authors. She is most interested in middle-grade and
YA fiction

In particular she wants:
fantasy grounded in reality with series potential; contemporary with a focus on
current issues and diversity without being didactic; contemporary teen girl
romance and coming of age; mystery and psychological thriller; and YA fiction
with cross-over adult or new adult appeal.

She is also open to
historical fiction, especially with a medieval or early 20th century backdrop. She
is not not interested in high
fantasy, paranormal, chapter books for younger readers, non-fiction picture
books, or non-author/illustrator picture books.

Rosemary Stimola is most interested in author/illustrator
picture books, middle grade fiction with series potential, and YA
mystery/thrillers.

Erica Rand Silverman is primarily interested in books for and about children. She has worked with some of the most exciting new talent and treasured mainstays in the industry, as well as with the estates of our favorite classics.

Erica represents picture books through young adult and the occasional adult nonfiction project in parenting, humor and wellness.

She received her degree in Secondary English Education from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, and a Master of Arts degree in Theater from Hunter College. Before joining the studio in 2016, she was an English and Theater Teacher and Dean at a NYC public high school and a Senior Literary Agent at Sterling Lord Literistic.

Adriana Stimola wants your cookbooks and lifestyle projects!
She’s interested in stories that celebrate food and culture and that aim to
gather people in the kitchen and around tables; books that highlight mindful
and modern approaches to life and parenthood. Adriana is also a photographer, content consultant, and writer. Check out her blog here.
